Mark Wahlberg walked away as one of the night’s big winners as he received the Guy of The Year award and the Guy Movie of the Year award for “The Fighter,” the film of which he produced and portrayed pugilist Micky Ward. The real-life fighter Micky Ward and his brother Dicky Eklund, and director David O. Russell joined Wahlberg on stage for the award acceptance.
One of the night’s truly special moments occurred when “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” was inducted into the Guy Movie Hall of Fame.
